why the qb64 editor is slow under linux

[Coolman]

yes i read on the net that the -Ofast parameter leads to a stronger maximum optimization than -O3 and can have effects on stability but i used -Ofast with many basic languages like freebasic and some interpreters. I haven't noticed any visible problem with qb64 yet. it's faster. that's a fact and so are the programs generated. more testing is needed. i'm also surprised that libqb.cpp isn't compiled at least with -O2. maybe the original author of qb64 knows something we don't. we should ask him. to play it safe, maybe it would be better to stick to -O2 or -O3. i'm in the testing phase for now. it seems there are not many linux users in this forum. it could have helped. i can't do everything by myself. there should be beta testers of the version compiled with -Ofast to report possible problems.
